Badshah • From “3 Am Sessions”
Bas Ke Bahar Lyrics Meaning Badshah | 3 Am Sessions
Badshah lists material achievements like businesses and cars but reveals persistent emptiness. He recounts how friends avoid contact, stating ‘your life is colorful’ but refusing to add ‘dull shades.’ The artist admits craving love yet fleeing when it approaches.
Main Flight Mein Hun Main Soya NahiI’m on a flight and I haven’t slept.
Wo Chhod Gayi Main Roya NahiShe left me, but I didn’t cry.
Parso Raat Jiske Sath ThaThe girl I was with the night before last,
Main Gaal Uska ChoomaI kissed her on the cheek.
Kehti Gaal Ab Tak Dhoya NahiShe says she hasn’t washed it yet.
Lo Fir Ek Baar Pesh-E-KhidmatSo here I am once again, at your service.
Hai Meri Zindagi Lo MazeThis is my life, go ahead and enjoy it.
Wo Bacchon Ko School BhejkarAfter she sends her kids off to school,
Karti Hai Call Mujhko Subah 9 BajeShe calls me at 9 in the morning.
Main Dastan Apni Likhne BethungaWhen I sit down to write my story,
To Kaiyo Ka Naam AayegaMany names will inevitably appear.
Kisi Ki Ban Jaaye Zindagi ShayadIt might make someone’s life,
To Kisi Ke Gale Se Niche Na Jaam JaayegaWhile another won’t even be able to swallow their drink.
Record Tode Dil Kayi Tod KarI’ve broken records by breaking many hearts,
Sabse Upar Kyunki Pichhe Saare Chhut GayeI’m at the top because I left everyone behind.
Gair Ban Bethe Family Jo Bachpan Se Apne TheThose who were family since childhood have become strangers;
Wo Saare Rooth GayeThey’ve all turned their backs on me.
Ab Phone Bhi Aane Band Ho Gaye HaiNow even the phone calls have stopped.
Kehte Tujhko Tang Karna Nahi ChahteThey say they don’t want to bother you,
Teri Zindagi Rangeen Hai BadiBecause your life is so colorful,
Usme Apne Feeke Se Rang Bharna Nahi ChahteAnd they don’t want to fill it with their dull shades.
Jo Tu Karta Hai Wo Karna Nahi ChahteThey don’t want to do what you do.
Tujhse Pyaar Karte Hai Tujhse Darna Nahi ChahteThey love you and they don’t want to be afraid of you.
Tu Har Baat Pe Hi Ladne Ko Taiyar Betha HaiYou’re ready to fight over every little thing,
Hum Ladna Nahi ChahteBut we don’t want to fight.
Jo Sapne Dekhe The Wo Kabke Poore Kar LiyeI achieved the dreams I had a long time ago.
Business Gaadiyan Kapde Joote Ghar LiyeI’ve got the businesses, cars, clothes, shoes, and houses.
Wo Mujhse Puchhti Hai Kitna Pyaar Karta HaiShe asks me how much I love her.
Maine Bola Jispe Marna Tha Mar LiyeI told her, “I’ve already died for the one I was meant to.”
Wo Mujhse Puchhti Tu Raaton Ko Kyun Jaagta HaiShe asks me why I stay awake at night,
Is Gali Se Us Gali Mein Kyun Tu Bhagta HaiAnd why I run from one street to another.
Raat Mere Ghar Pe Subah Kisi Aur KeYou’re at my place at night and someone else’s by morning;
Yeh Bata Tu Guzar Raha Kis Daur SeTell me, what kind of phase are you going through?
Tu Kya Kha Raha Hai Aur Tujhe Kya Kha Raha HaiWhat are you eating, and what’s eating away at you?
Lamborghini Sahi Hai Par Yeh Rasta Kahan Ja Raha HaiThe Lamborghini’s nice, but where is this road even leading?
24 Ghante Sath Kabhi Gaayab Tu Maheeno BharSometimes you’re around 24/7, then you’re gone for months.
Kitna Udega Reh Le Zameeno ParHow high will you fly? Try staying grounded for once.
Competition Khatam Reham Kha Ab Kameeno ParThe competition’s over, so show some mercy to those ‘pitiable’ rivals.
Kitne Dil Hai Tere Aayenge Kitni Haseeno ParHow many hearts do you have, and how many beauties will you fall for?
Ungliyon Mein Yeh Jo Pehne Hai TuneThese things you’re wearing on your fingers,
Kya Sach Mein Tujhe Yakeen Hai Un Nageeno ParDo you really believe in those ‘astrological’ gemstones?
Tere Astrologer Kya Batate HaiWhat do your astrologers tell you?
Yeh Boore Sapne Tujhe Aaj Tak Kyun Satate HaiWhy do these nightmares still haunt you even now?
Kiska Gam Khata Hai Yeh Bata Yeh Chasme KaaleWhose grief are you mourning? Tell me, these dark sunglasses,
Kiski Yaadon Ke Aansu Chhupate HaiWhose memories are they hiding tears for?
Hum Kon Kyon Hai Aur Kya Hai Yeh Bata AurTell us who we are, why we’re here, and what we mean,
Teri Zindagi Mein Kahan Par Aate HaiAnd where exactly we fit into your life.
Mujhe Chahta Nahi Koi Lekin Badshah Ko Saare Chahte HaiNo one loves me, but everyone loves the star ‘Badshah’.
Yeh Baatein Karne Ka Faayda Na KoiThere’s no point in talking about these things.
Meri Zindagi Ka Kaayda Na KoiMy life doesn’t follow any rules.
Mainu Chahidi Ae Tu Te Tu Te TuI just want you, and you, and you.
Par Mainu Chahida Na KoiBut then again, I don’t want anyone at all.
Tu Kisse Baat Kar rahi Hai Mujhko Pata NahiI don’t know who you’re talking to.
Tere Aage Bas Mera Jism HaiOnly my body is standing here in front of you.
Pyaar Pyaar Karta Hai Aur Jab Pyaar Mile Bhaagta HaiHe keeps crying out for love, but when he finds it, he runs away.
Aadmi Ki Kaisi Kism HaiWhat a strange fate for a man.
Yeh Baatein Khair Na Hi Karo HumseWell, it’s better if you don’t mention these things to me.
Hum Bekaar Ho Chuke HaiI’ve become completely useless.
Hum To Ab Khud Ke Bas Mein Hi NahiI’m not even in my own control anymore.
Hum Bas Ke Bahar Ho Chuke HaiI’ve gone beyond my own limits.

Conflict between public image and private identity anchors the ‘Bas Ke Bahar’ lyrics translation. Badshah declares he’s no longer self-governed, with the Badshah persona consuming his individuality. This Punjabi track’s lyrics in English expose fame’s paradoxical loneliness.
